Chriustianity, which our original full form antherm espouses in no uncertain 
terms is clear on that.

God is notfound in buildings of brick & wood.

Or as one athiest mate f mine put it:

Spirituality is what's inside -- religion's just the part you pay for.

Technically, good religion is about us choosing rules to help shape us, in 
spite of ourselves & our creature roots.

We are a herd creature, so we feel good affliating with a likeminded grouping 
with a clear leader(alpha)

Love widely, & there are3 main type of love, at least as mentiuoned in the 
Greek Bible:

agapé: love without expectation of reward/return (aka  unconditi
nal/spiritual/unrequited love)

philoso: the oove of affiliation (to gfamily, to friendsm, to  a
filiations/clubs/etc.)

eros: the love of emotion & passion/sex

For one's spouse, one hopes one has all 3 working well, in both directions.
